Pantone Amethyst Orchid

Pantone 17-3628 (“Amethyst Orchid”) is this week’s Fall 2015 Pantone color choice. This vibrant color is reminiscent of jewels and rich fabrics. Amethyst Orchid is an intriguing shade of purple with bold hues of pink, magenta and violet. Florals in this shade pair beautifully with neutral shades of cream, sage colored succulents and deep purple blossoms. Amethyst Orchid has been a creative and unique yet still popular color choice for wedding palettes this season. We have loved incorporating the color into wedding paper design as well – pairing it with shimmery gold ink onto purple paper and also in more traditional paper suites, using the color as a simple accent color behind the invitation. The color is versatile and works in both statement designs as well as more classic looks.
